strike.
New YORK, November GA morning
paper publishes the following: "a strong
effort is being made by those members OF
the Knights Of Labor who still remain true
to Mr.. Powderly to unite more firmly the
remaining ranks Of knights, and prove by
results that the present management Is q
satisfactory as we'll as o successful one.
The ole method by which this can be
demonstrated to the workiDgmen Is
through the successful issue of strike.
There has not been any large strike OF
which the officers of the organization had
control since the dismal failure OF the
'longshoremen and the coal handlers nearly
a wear ago. The few strikes that have
since taken place have been small affairs
and lasted short time only, but the labor
leaders long for another time when they
can "tie mp" every surface road In this
city.
Now it is said that trouble will occur
on some one of the surface roads. On
what road it is likely to be there is no
knowing at present, but the Third Avenue
Line has been filled up again with union
men, who never forgot their whipping two
wears ago and are anxious to fight the bat
tie over again on the same ground as be-
fore. This is limited at as the next rail-
road to be struck. The company, yicto-
rious before, although at aSgreat cost, viii
undoubtedly refuse to grant any demand
that may be made upon it. That will

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
A Congressman Who "Didn't Know How
the Darned TIMING Worked"

A Congressman Who "Didn't Know How
the Darned Thing Worked"
WASHINGTON, November 26.-The Con-
gressional career of the Hon. William II.
Martin, of Texas, successor to Judge Rea-
gan, nearly came to an inglorious and
tragic end night before last.
He arrived in the city and inscribed his
name on the Willard register, along with
other statesmen, and was assigned room
commensurate with his official dignity.
Late in the evening he turned himself over
to colored barber and experienced hair
cut. After sacrificing his Ssmsonian locks
he further submitted TO the demands of the
new social life, into the vortex of which
he had so suddenly plunged, by discard
ing his Texas flannel shirt and DOMINIC o
broad expaDse of linen and standing col
lar. Then, submitting to the formality Of
a shine, he retired to his room with theey-
ident consriouss Of man who felt that he
had discharged his full duty toward the
new civilization, and was prepared for any
emergencies which might arise. -
Along about midnight the halls Or the
hotel became sitting with odor of escsp-
ing gas. Mr.. Dewitt, one Of the attaches
of the house, upon making the discovery,
at once surmised that some one had blown
out the gas. He began hurried search,
and after much shifting. finally located the
Odor by its intensity at the door Of the
Texas Congressman. To his gentle wrap
ping there was no response, and even when
he pounded vigorously the only reply
from within was silent. Summoning q
porter he burst open the door, and found
the room filled with gas, the jet turned On
and the Loan Star statesman lying IN bed
unconscious. Aid was summoned, and
after a long course of treatment, and the
persistent application Of restoratiyes, the
Texas Congressman was saved to his con
stituency. He explained that, not know
ing how the darned thing worked, ne had
blown out the gas.
